Attendance and Meal Counts by Headcount (Combined Screen Web Version)

The entry of both attendance and meal counts by headcount is for those sites that choose not to keep any participant data in My Food Program. When processing the claim, My Food Program will ensure that meal counts do not exceed attendance counts but other reporting and compliance checks are limited.

To use this feature:

  • Click on Headcount Attendance & Meal Count from the main dashboard. This will bring you to the attendance and meal count entry screen.
  • Change the date and meal type if needed.
  • Enter the Attendance Count which is the number of participants that attended your facility today. This number should be at least as large as the number of meals served.
  • Enter the Meal Counts
    • Can't type a number in the box? Your settings might require that you use the up/down arrows.
    • Only see one box that says "Count" - this means your sponsor has chosen a simplified display
  • Click the green Save button
